The Jeffrey Report (Season Two)

Link to the podcast here (or in your usual podcast player apps).

A reflective discussion on the second series of the podcast (nearly three years in the making!), in which we look at any new activity from podcast alumni (namely Jethro Tull, dEUS and Muse), talk a bit about Komeda (and Marcus Holmberg’s band Woodlands) and hand out the Golden Jeffrey for best album, as well as a few other big awards.

We also add continue where we left off three years ago by adding to the Jeffrey Podcast Jolly Party Playlist™ and creating a new one for Season Two.

If you want to party like Jeffrey, click here for a link to the playlist on Spotify (same playlist on Deezer), or here if you just want to listen to the Season Two playlist on Spotify (also see below). or here on Deezer.

Jeffrey’s Top 10: Balthazar Jeffrey

We're nearly through with this ill-advised idea to do Top 10s, but seeing as we've got this far, let's get to the end – this one is about the brilliant Belgian band Balthazar, a real gem we uncovered since doing this podcast, and we're quite pleased with ourselves for having done so! It's one thing to claim to be musical explorers, not stuck in the past with just playing the same old stuff from long ago, it's quite another to actually do it – at Jeffrey Music we damn well walk the talk. Anyway, enough about how ace we are, here's the link to website version of this, over on JeffreyMusic.Rocks and the playlists on Spotify and Deezer.    
  1. Jeffrey’s Top 10: Balthazar
  2. Jeffrey’s Top 10: Otis Redding
  3. Jeffrey’s Top 10: Patti Smith
  4. Jeffrey’s Top 10: Simon and Garfunkel
  5. Jeffrey’s Top 10: Dire Straits
